August Cookbook Giveaway

Last month the Crispy Cook searched the shelves at Old Saratoga Books and came up with Judith Olney's cookbook "Summer Food" (NY: Atheneum, 1978). To enter the giveaway contest, all one has to do is leave a comment after this post. The winner of the July cookbook giveaway is Melissa of the healthy living and cooking blog, Gluten Free For Good. Melissa is a Colorado Nutrition Therapist with a special expertise in the gluten-free diet and is a celiac herself. Check out her cool blog. Congratulations Melissa!

For the August cookbook giveaway, I am offering a copy of "Light and Spicy", by Barbara Gibbons, (NY: Harper and Row, 1989). This cookbook has lots of low-calorie, full-flavored recipes, and as a sampler, the cookbook's recipe for Canary Islands Mojo Sauce will follow. To enter the giveaway contest for this book just leave a comment after this post by August 31st, at midnight, to enter the giveaway. Good luck all!

If any of the other recipes found in this book are as yummy sounding as the one printed, count me in! I love adding cookbooks to my shelves.Many Blessings,Holly@aiminghighwww.homeschoolblogger.com/aiminghigh

The cookbook simply states Spanish paprika, so I would imagine that it is regular old paprika rather than the smoked variety. I would also think ground cumin would be a fine substitute for cumin seeds, although I did buy some cumin seeds for an Indian recipe and they are delightfully crunchy and pop in your mouth with cumin taste so you may want to acquire some in the future for kitchen experimentation.

I can't believe that I just now found your website, it's great! (I need to *virtually* get out more). I thought that I'd comment here since I'm oogling your cookbook, but you mojo sauce looks so tasty that it's coming home with me for dinner :) thanks for the recipe! I will (one of these days) get to canning some of my veggies, and I'll be sure to read your wax bean recipe again. Great blog!

This book looks absolutely wonderful!! I love spicy food but don't have a cookbook for that type of food. I usually get recipes from family and friends. I must say, I love your header as well. It makes me drool. lol. I love peans. Delicious. Thanks for the chance!

I just returned from another week in the backcountry (I'm hiking the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango) and found your wonderful gift awaiting me. Thank you so much! "Summer Food" looks to be a wonderful collection of recipes! You're so sweet to send me the book. I love your website, with or without the bonus of a cookbook give-a-way!
